JOHN KNOX (deceased) was born in Ireland in 1809, and emigrated to America in 1818 with his parents, who settled in Turtle Creek Township in the section where they now live; he obtained his education in the village of Lebanon and followed farming until his death; he was a very industrious and hardworking man, full of the vigor and energy that characterizes the people of his nativity. He was married, in December, 1836, to Miss Mary Jane Cowan, a native of Turtle Creek Township, and a sister of David Cowan, of Warren County; they had four children, three girls and one boy, viz., Margaret J., the wife of James Brown, of Lebanon; Martha, the wife of Dr. Rush Carley, of Butler Co., Ohio; Mary E., the wife of Boyd Forman, a farmer of Turtle Creek Township, and Charles C., who has attended to the home farm since his father's death.
